After 18 years at the helm,
Monroe County Sheriff Rick
Roth is ready to retire.
"I'll be 70 years old in
November," he said. "If I were
elected to another four years, I'd

It wasn't your eyes playing
tricks on you.
Some of you did see a man
riding through the Keys on a
bicycle going backward.
The man was 36-year-old
Curan Wright of Venice Beach,
Calif. He's been riding his
freestyle bike specially


rigged to only ride backward,
requiring him to turn his head to
see oncoming traffic and other
obstacles across the country
since the summer.
He took the unusual trek to
raise awareness for three causes
close to his heart: HIV/AIDS,
homelessness and medicinal
marijuana.
Wright travels light on his
trip, carrying only some T-shirts,
a tent, a first-aid and snake-bite
kit and some shorts. He's home-

Overall, Roth has worked for
the Sheriff's Office for 43 years,
starting as a deputy and serving
in such roles as a detective.
There are rumblings the
Sheriff's Office will produce a
candidate or two to run for the
four-year seat in the fall, but no
one has stepped forward yet to
express their interest.
"I don't know who's going to
run," Roth said. "Bob Peryam
has shown some interest, but

Stricter- water rules start


It now goes
to once weekly
for landscapes
By KEVIN WADLOW
Senior Staff Writer
kwadlow@keynoter.com


Florida Keys lawns go dry
starting Tuesday.
All of South Florida has
been placed.,under one-day-a-
week water restrictions by the
South Florida Water
Management District.
The district has enacted
"the most stringent landscape-
irrigation measures that this
agency has ever had to
impose," district board.
Chairman Eric Buermann said.
County and municipal
code-enforcement officers
will be responsible for enforc-
ing the new restrictions.
"We've been doing it right
along," said a staffer at Key
West Code Enforcement, who
declined to be named. "The
only real difference is that
now it's one day a week
instead of the two it has been."
Residents and businesses in
Monroe County, as of
Tuesday, will be limited to a


one-day-per-week landscape
irrigation schedule, with two
"watering windows" on their
specified day.
Odd street addresses may
irrigate lawns and landscapes
on Mondays between 4 and 8
a.m. or 4 and 8 p.m.
Even street addresses
may irrigate Thursdays
between 4 and 8 a.m. or 4 and
8 p.m.
Hand-watering with one
hose fitted with an automatic
shut-off nozzle is allowed for
10 minutes per day "for land-
scape stress relief and to pre-
vent plant die-off," according
to the water district.
Most of the violations dis-
covered in the Keys under the
current twice-weekly-water-
ing rules could be traced to
automatic sprinkler systems
that were not set properly,
code enforcement officers
said.
The same restrictions take
effect in Miami-Dade,
Broward, Okeechobee, St.
Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach,
Hendry and Glades counties.
"Our lawns do not need to
be watered more than once a
week during the dry season,


and with seasonal rainfall -to
help, it should be more than
enough to maintain a healthy
lawn," Buermann said in a dis-
trict statement.
The main concern is a dry
winter that further drains the
shrinking Lake Okeechobee,
the backup water supply for
South Florida's population of
millions;
Lake Okeechobee has
recovered from its record low
depths this spring, but stands
at the lowest point recorded
for mid-November.
By next spring, the lake
could be at new all-time lows,
district Executive Director
Carol Ann Wehle said.
"We believe [the new rules]
will significantly help to pro-
tect and stretch our regional
water supplies," Buermann
said.
Other aspects of the new
rules:
New landscaping and
lawns can receive additional
water allocations.
No restrictions apply to
other outside water uses, such
as for car and boat washing,
swimming pools, pressure
cleaning or decorative foun-
tains.

Crime-


spree


suspect


back


in jail

By KRISTEN BURNIE
kburnie@keysreporter.com

The Key Largo teen who
reportedly confessed in
November to 19 burglaries and
three arsons is once again being
held on charges relating to the
2007 crime spree that shocked
Upper Keys residents.
Nineteen-year-old Sammy
Santamaria was recommitted to
the Stock-Island Detention Center
on Wednesday on charges of sec-
ond-degree arson, burglary of a
dwelling and grand theft, Monroe
County Sheriff's Office spokes-
woman Becky Herrin said.
Herrin said it was unclear what
prompted the recommittal, but
State Attorney's Office spokesman
Matt Helmerich said a recommit-
tal typically occurs when a judge
revokes bond on someone or a
bondsman decides that he doesn't
want to hold the bond.
Herrin said Santamaria's bond
is set at $175,000.
Santamaria, of Avenue B in
Key Largo, also faces dozens of
other charges in' 10 of the 19
cases he reportedly confessed to,
including burglary of a structure,
possession of burglary tools and
felony criminal mischief,
Helmerich said.
Helmerich said more charges
could be added pending the com-
pletion of reports from law
enforcement agencies and the
state Fire Marshal's Office.
"The thing about this case
that's challenging is that there are
[numerous] places that he hit, and
each one has a whole different set
of charges," Helmerich said.
"This has been the kind of case
that as we continue to get infor-
mation from law enforcement,
his charges are increasing."
Herrin said Santamaria has
been arrested on charges relating
to the crime spree and subse-
quently released on bond several
times since Nov. 6.

Keys Opinion


With sewers, it's all

about the Benjamins

Fifteen words made all the difference.
At least, that what's Marathon City Council member Marilyn
Tempest said when she explained why she was voting "no" on
sewers for now.
This is quite a role reversal for her, since she authored the
city's brave leap forward into central sewers last June.
But Wednesday night, she spent an inordinate amount of time
trying to explain why she would vote no on a citywide sewer
resolution authored by Councilman Mike Cinque.
Calling the language "incendiary," she recited from the reso-
lution: "This commitment is not contingent on the approval of
additional state and federal grant funds."
That was it.
"That's why I can't vote for this resolution," she added. "It
gets everybody on edge."
In the back of the room, most of the voices were grumbling.
They thought the city had made enormous progress at beating
back the naysayers.
Many felt the community had already settled this debate. It
ended on a 3-2 vote. last June and was affirmed in August with
the move to proceed sewering Area 4 (Sombrero Beach
Road/U.S. 1 corridor).
Ah, but there's the rub.
To date, Marathon has received roughly $12 million in sewer
grant money, not the $34 million promised. And Councilman Don
Vasil, who says he won't ever vote for sewers unless the grant
money is here, asked if "that whole $12 million stays in Area 4?"
Ah, now there's another rub.
Cinque proposed taking the $12 million and spreading it
throughout the city. Share the burden, so to speak. His plan would
have increased monthly sewer bills citywide by an estimated $15
a month if no further state or federal monies ever came.
His plan also would have tied up another $215,000 a year
from infrastructure sales tax funds, out of a fund that generates
$2.6 million a year.
But that tax sunsets in 2018, which brought warnings from
Mayor Pete Worthington about how to replace those designat-
ed sales tax monies if voters don't renew that infrastructure tax
a decade from now.
"I'm leery about some of the financing in this plan," the
mayor said.
That brought a quick retort from Cinque, who noted the city's
existing commitment to sewer Area 4 also uses infrastructure
tax funds.
"So anyone who voted for Area 4 voted for 15 percent infra-
structure money," Cinque said.
No one won in the debate Wednesday night.
But it's clear that money still calls the tune. Whose money?
Aye, there's the rub.

Schools aren't the places for people to live


EDITOR:
Jerry Coleman, the county's pro-developer
consulting attorney, was recently quoted saying
that zoning for educational uses in Monroe
County's land-use plan does not set any residen-
tial density.
Nonsense. It's not at all odd that the compre-
hensive plan doesn't provide for residential
development in the educational land-use catego-
ry. That zoning designation is for schools, not
for residential development.
A proposed land-plan amendment wending
its way through the county's approval process
was tailored for Ed Swift's proposed residential
development on the grounds of Sugarloaf
School. When the plans were unveiled, it was
pointed out that school grounds aren't zoned for
residential development, thus the push now to
establish, via a land-plan amendment, residential
density (25 units per acre) on school grounds.
The development (25 or so units proposed in
the $200,000 range and higher) to be offered for
ownership ostensibly is to address the shortage
of teacher housing. However, the School Board
acknowledged there is no way to limit purchase
to teachers or School Board employees.
Concerned parents opposing the development
have legitimate concerns about who might live
on the schoolyard and about traffic in and out of
the proposed mini-subdivision.


The developer, out of the kindness of his
heart, agreed to limit his profit to $10,000 per
unit. How generous of him to make only a quar-
ter million dollars profit by the use of our public
land.
Furthermore, considering that more and more
market-rate housing is available in a range not
much higher than the price range of the pro-
posed development, who in their right mind
would buy a deed-restricted home on which
they could not turn a profit by improving it and
later selling it?
It's hard to deny that teachers need housing.
If a critical need exists for teacher housing,
especially for new teachers just out of universi-
ty, the School Board should find a way to build
a small number of rental units in which they
could control who lives. And they would not
have to be on school grounds, where I dare say
not many teachers would want to live anyway.
The School Board owns property other than
where schools are, and that is where School
Board-owned rental housing belongs, not in
schoolyards.
Dennis Henize
Cudjoe Key

Editor's note: The county Planning
Commission on Tuesday approved housing on
school property.


City's not perfect, but county would be worse


EDITOR:
To Marathon's municipal reconciliation
movement: There are lots of important things
Marathon can't or won't seem to do. One is'
repaving Little Venice streets turned into
Third World alleys by sewer-pipe installation.
A second is keeping residential neighborhoods
from being used for business vehicle and
material storage. A third is supporting proper-
ty values by getting residents to control their
loose, barking dogs and keep their properties
free of stinking, dead, rotting fish piles.
I was livid recently when Marathon Fire
Rescue could not respond to a medical emer-
gency at my home because a neighbor uses
our street to store his work trailer, and much
of my anger was the result of my perception
that our city manager seems to work harder to
keep his job by reminding the community of
his historic status in it than by doing the hard,
thankless work his position actually requires
him to do.
We all have our complaints. But do you
really think the so-called "gang of three" on
the County Commission is going to divert its
attention from such critically important tasks
as sinking another ship off Key West to fix
my street or get neighborhood bullies to
behave?
Has anyone considered vacation rentals?
Affordable accommodations have disappeared
and their upscale replacements are years away.
If we lose vacation rentals as well, who will
shop in our stores and dine in our restaurants?
And what about the Boot Key Bridge? Do
you think "the' gang" will welcome us back


knowing it will be getting the bridge and its
problems back, as well?
Before Marathon's residents are forced to
reconsider Marathon city status, the individu-
als pushing the issue need to step forward, as
those who pushed for city status once did, and
tell us what we will gain by groveling before
the county, begging to take us back.
We all have our complaints about Marathon
city government. But just how are things
going to be better if we are re-accepted by the
county and governed by people who don't
work in trailers just up the street?

Get wind power from existing poles


EDITOR:
How is this for an idea? We
have electric power poles that
criss-cross the entire U.S.A. Why
not design a small wind generator
that would sit on top existing
power poles and generate power
directly or indirectly to the exist-


ing power lines? These generators
would be made in the U.S.A., not
China, and be serviced by U.S. cit-
izens. It would create jobs here and
cut our dependence on foreign oil.

Some requests for city Public Works


EDITOR:
This is an ongoing request. Can
someone please speak to the per-
sons responsible for the grass cut-
ting from White Street to the Palm
Avenue bridge in Key West? It is
very distressing to see cutting after
cutting where the trash is multi-
plied by shredding it and spread
over an ever-greater area that it
was before the mowing occurred.
It takes an extra step to pick up
the trash before the mowing, but
the results will look like we want
the main egress to our lovely
island to look clean and green.
Can someone please talk to the
mowers and get this accomplished?
It is a small thing with big results
in a very high-visibility area.
Also please, if I may request
that lights be placed on the bridge
over the channel on Roosevelt by
Roosevelt Gardens. Me and many
other bicyclers using this bridge
after dark are an accident waiting


to happen, as the homeless drunk
folk collapse on the bridge and you
can't see them till you are ready to
run into them or crash trying to
avoid them.
Just couple of lights, please, like
the ones on the Stock Island
bridge, would effectively deter this
action just as it did for the Stock
Island bridge, making it safe to
travel on after dark.
The south College Road trash
beginning at the Botanical Gardens
areas still are an awful eyesore .in
another high-visibility location, for
nearly four months now. Any plans
to have these large items removed
anytime soon, please? This is an
ongoing request also.
Another wonderful citywide
cleanup would be great to have
scheduled soon. We all feel like we
are making a difference when we
can personally participate.

Injured soldier's mom is thankful


EDITOR:
Upon reflection of this year's past
events, I have a lot to be thankful for
and am truly blessed. I have learned
to concentrate on-the positive and not
dwell on the negative.
On July 1, I received a phone call
from the U.S. Army stating.my 23-
year-old daughter, a soldier, was
being airlifted from Germany to
Walter Reed Army Hospital in
Washington, D.C., in critical condi-
tion. She still remains at Walter Reed
and is getting better day by day.
I wanted to say thank you to
everyone who has shown their sup-
port for me and my son these past
months. The generosity of everyone
in Key West is overwhelming.
A huge thank you to Pamn and
Commissioner Clayton Lopez for
never refusing to watch my son while
I make my twice-a-month trips to
Washington. Even though the
Lopezes are still in a Federal
Emergency Management Agency
trailer, they always make room for
my son and never turn me down even
on those last-minute trips.
I especially want to thank the
Coldwell Banker Schmitt.Charitable


Foundation for assuring that my son
and I continued to have a roof over
our heads this past holiday season.
Thank you to Angelica at the
Salvation Army who referred me to
them. Without that referral, I would
no longer have my own apartment.
Thanks to Commissioner Teri
Johnston for locating me and making
sure all this was taken care of. The
compassion she's shown goes far
beyond any mere thank you.
Thank you also to Jim and Vickie
Grant for their support. Their assis-
tance went beyond any "big brother"
program; and to the churches, busi-
nesses and individuals who have
offered their support whether it was
food, assistance with bills, or prayers.
I also want to thank the Monroe
County Health Department for allow-
ing me the time off to visit and see
about my soldier.
And thank you to the mayor and
the entire Key West City
Commission for the special prayer
for my daughter's recovery. God
Bless and I pray for a wonderful new
year.

wanted in the city of Key West. It would be
filled with banyans and fruit trees, and
would double as a pet cemetery .(providing
income for its maintenance.) All kinds of
animals would be welcome to co-exist
there, so long as they are spayed or
neutered, and get along with the chickens.
Once I secure the property, I will launch
a new retire-a-nuisance chicken program.
On demand, I will pick up unwanted fowl'
for $50 a rooster, and the hens for free.
Why? Because faced with the recent $20
fee for chicken pickup, people invariably
say just pick up the roosters and leave the
hens; they're OK. This of course splits up
happy chicken families and sets the scene
for a whole new wave of nuisance fowl,
when the hen hatches out 12 adorable
fluffies, six of whom will be crowing roost-
ers within six months So I want to. give
people the incentive to send the hens with
their hubbys.
On Katha's Farm, the eggs will be taken
for use, and the population kept stable by
attrition.
This brings me to my prediction.
Wild chickens are smart and adaptable,
and have foresight. I am fascinated by the

richness (and flexibility) of their language. I
have become convinced that we, humans,
would be little smarter than chickens if we
were raised only with the information pro-
vided by our parents and the limits of our
neighborhood.
Archimedes and Newton would have
lived and died in vain; we could not antici-
pate a hurricane or plan a career; ours
would be a hardscrabble existence of
tedious food-searching, punctuated by
episodes of mortal fear.
A chicken, however, can be taught (as I
was) to press the right buttons if the buttons
will give him what he wants. I intend to
introduce chickens (and other animals) to
technology once I set up my sanctuary and
film their response.
My prediction is this: By Jan. 1, 2050, ani-
mals will be buying and selling stuff on eBay.

some kind of accident, we should
stay on schedule."
The Lady Luck was grounded
in Florida Bay by Hurricane
Katrina in 2005 but freed. Then
Hurricane Wilma hit that October
- shoving the vessel onto a shal-
low grass flat where it has
remained since, becoming an
environmental hazard, eyesore
and nuisance.
The Florida Keys National
Marine Sanctuary tapped itA ship-
wreck fund to pay for the
$500,000 removal.
"Normally we don't have to
deal with a vessel this size," sanc-
tuary Superintendent Dave Score
said. "We're hoping it comes in
under budget."
Typically owners of large ves-
sels that go hard aground in the
federally protected sanctuary pay
for the salvage operation and
environmental restoration. -
But corporations once listed
of owners as the Key West-based
casino boat have denied responsi-
bility, saying the Lady Luck had
changed hands around the time of
the hurricanes.
"Usually the owner has a vest-
ed interest in recovering the boat,
and we try to work out an agree-
ment with the owner," Score said.
"In this case, [the recovery] could
not be done cooperatively, so the
legal case has been turned over to

the Department of Justice."
Monroe County's Marine
Resources Unit administers the
project through a contract with
DRC Emergency Services, an
Alabama-based firm specializing
in storm cleanup.
Coffin Marine works as a sub-
contractor with DRC.
"One of the best things about
this project is that NOAA stepped
up and said local people can do
this," Coffin said. "The Keys are
loaded with high-quality salvors
so we're using all local people
and saving [the government]
money."
Five members of a crew now


work at the site for 12 hours a
day, every day. Three more will
join the project to cut the metal
apart.
The Lady Luck is 28 feet wide
and stands 20 feet tall. "We're
looking at 300,000 pounds of
debris," Coffin said.
"People will be amazed at
how fast it comes apart," Coffin
said. "One of my biggest con-
cerns is that people driving on
U.S. 1 will have accidents while
looking at it."
Workers first cleaned out
debris left by hurricane damage
and squatters. "We have removed
all the pollutants from the boat,


and cut holes in the hull for light
and ventilation while he work,"
Coffin said.
Two engines, each weighing
three tons, have been removed.
The engines are useable only as
scrap, Coffin said.
"Raccoons with wrenches got
in here are started taking parts
off," he said, referring to illegal
salvage activities.
The ship plowed a 100-yard
trench through the bottom to its
resting spot. Coffin Marine
specifically built a shallow-draft
work barge that can use trench
for access and removal.
"Knuckle booms" mounted on


the barge lift the heavy pieces for
transport. The 44-foot-long barge
needs only 18 inches of water,
Coffin said.
"Overall, we're moving
pieces day and night about 500
yards through shallow water,"
Coffin said. "It's a once-in-a-
career type of project. We have a
film crew that's making a docu-
mentary."
Work also is proceeding to
free another Wilma casualty, the
158-foot yacht Legacy off Key
West. Owner Peter Halmos is
financing the effort to move the
$30 million vessel from a flat to
deeper water.

Council: No to citywide sewers


Majority says
more financing
must be in place
Keynoter Staff

Who pays and how much the
city helps offset the cost of sew-
ers divided the Marathon City
Council yet again.
At a special meeting Wednes-
day night, Councilman Mike
Cinque's resolution to spread
existing grant money citywide
instead of just to the Sombrero
area was defeated on a 3-2 vote.
Cinque warned the city will
face consequences from property

$5 million

Part of $100M


promise now
officially funded
U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen
and Assistant Secretary of the
Army for Civil Works John Paul
Woodley Jr. were to be in Key
West Friday to sign over $5 mil-
lion in sewer funding for the Keys.
The money was earmarked in
a signing ceremony at the Florida
Keys Eco Discovery Center at
the Truman Waterfront.
The money is part of $100
million allotted for Keys sewers
by Congress in 2000. Over the
years, some $7 million of that has
reached the islands.
Of this $5 million, Key West
will receive $3.6 million, $1.8
goes to Key Largo and $200,000 is
earmarked for Key Colony Beach.
The money is administered by
the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and divvied up accord-
ing to an agreement hammered
out by local mayors and represen-
tatives of each municipality.
That agreement, initially
drafted in 2004 and amended in
2006, earmarked $29.5 million
each for Marathon, Islamorada
and unincorporated Monroe. It
also set aside $10.3 million for
Key West, $800,000 for Layton
and. $200,000 for Key Colony .,..


owners scheduled for later phases
of sewer construction if owners
of small package plants are
forced to upgrade by the state by
the 2010 deadline and then forced
to connect to city sewers later -
paying twice.
During a 90 minute-long
debate, the council heard virtual-
ly unanimous support for moving
forward on sewers from every
member of the public who spoke.
When Councilwoman Marilyn
Tempest took the microphone
following that public outpouring,
she described the decision as the
"toughest night" to date on the
controversial sewer debate.
"I thought the toughest was
last June when we dove into the
water," she said, reminding
everyone she authored a resolu-
tion that put Marathon on the path
to central sewers.
But Wednesday night, she
voted against Cinque's resolution,
saying she felt the revised sched-
ule was too rushed, "too com-
pressed." And she took issue with
the financing proposed by Cinque
to make un for threatened short-


falls in promised state grants.


Cinque, who had voted against
central sewers last June, said he
was forced to change his mind
when the council majority decid-
ed to do central sewers instead of
smaller package plants serving
individual neighborhoods.
"Now, I say the argument's
been settled. Let's sewer the
entire town," he said.
He explained his resolution
called for two changes in the
financing plans, previously
approved:
Increase the city's contribu-
tion of infrastructure sales tax to
20 percent (up from 15 percent).
Fund the remaining capital
costs (not covered by grants) by
charging a higher monthly opera-
tions and maintenance fee.
"We don't know what those
O&M costs will be in the future,"
Mayor Pete Worthington said,
outlining his no vote on the reso-
lution. "Running these seven
plants, we don't know what it
will cost. Will it be $50, $70,
$100 a month?"
Cinque said he based his plan
on financial assumptions already
adopted by the council majority
at the August meeting. And he
argued the only difference


between his plan and the city's
current schedule is $215,000. a
year more committed from the
infrastructure tax fund and $180
yearly ($15 a month) increase in
O&M expenses.
"You took that train out of the
gate at these figures," Cinque
said. "To complete the rest of the
town, let's add that $215,000 a
year in infrastructure and let's
add that $3,600 over 20 years," or
$180 a year in operations and
maintenance.
Councilman Don Vasil said
his no vote was tied to his cam-
paign pledge "not to proceed [on
sewers] without funds from the
state or the feds."
After the lengthy debate, only
Cinque and Vice Mayor Chris
Bull voted for the revised city-
wide sewer schedule.
After losing on that vote, Bull
asked city staff if they knew how
to proceed.
The next big vote comes to sign
contracts for construction work to
begin in Area 6 (Coco Plum).
City staff was asked to bring
back to council the latest propos-
al for Area 5, which includes
acquiring the Little Venice plant
from the Aqueduct Authority.

Suspect reportedly uses

A Marathon man was jailed
early Thursday for allegedly

fighting with deputies --
including hitting one with his

Deputy Becky Herrin from

They went to the back and
saw Audilio Barrera, 25,

Barrera is charged with

Race on to get growth vote


By ALYSON CREAN
acrean@keynoter.com


With only 13 days left, the
grassroots Hometown Democ-
racy movement is pulling out
all the stops to get the signa-
tures it needs to get a proposed
amendment to the state
Constitution on Florida's
November ballot.
Local organizers say it
would help residents take back
control of county government.
The concept: Vote to change
the Constitution so any changes
to a city or county comprehen-
sive land-use plan would have
to be approved by local voters
through a referendum rather
than by a majority vote of a
local elected government. It
would go into effect immedi-
ately if passed on Election Day
Nov. 4.
Wednesday, the Island of
Key Largo Federation of
Homeowners Associations sent
out a final call to action. The
organization, which represents
close to 3,000 Upper Keys resi-
dents, supports the move, fed-
eration Secretary Pauline Klein
said.


"We've been working on
this for about a year," she said.
"It's a way to ensure citizen
input, especially when the peo-
ple we elect don't vote the way
the people want .them to.
They're supposed to stand in
the shoes of the voters, but that
doesn't always happen."
"We're in a situation where
we have virtually no control
over the people we've elected
to represent us," said Sandy
Brown, second vice president
of the Big Pine Civic
Association. He said his organ-
ization has provided financial
support and gathered signa-
tures.
"Short of drafting a charter
government," he said, "this is
all we have left to control these
people."
Last Stand, a Key West
grassroots organization, has
also passed a resolution in sup-
port of the amendment.
Key West businessman Ed
Swift said he is opposed not.
because he's a developer, but in
light of having been a county
commissioner.


"I think this would make the
process extraordinarily cum-
bersome," he said. "It's a form
of anti-growth mentality. You
elect people to represent the
people. ff you go to referendum
on everything, it become diffi-
cult to run the government."
Statewide, the Florida
Chamber of Commerce is
spearheading an effort against
the Hometown Democracy ini-
tiative.
"The plan subverts a well-
established, open, accessible
and democratic planning
process," Florida Chamber
business advocate Mark Wilson
wrote'.
"Under Hometown Democ-
racy," Hometown Democracy
President Lesley Blackner said
in a written statement, "devel-
opers will stop proposing so
many greedy plan changes.
They will have to learn to live
with -the plans, like they were
supposed to in the first place."
. Proponents need to gather
611,000 certified signatures by
Jan. 31 to get the question on
the ballot. Organizers estimate
they're more than halfway
there.

Dozens apply


to replace Word


They include
transgendered
former official
By KRISTEN BURNIE
kburnie@keysreporter.com

Islamorada Village Council
members say they'll give equal
consideration to each of the 33
candidates who've applied to be
the village's next manager,
including the transgendered for-
mer city manager of Largo,
Susan Stanton.
Islamorada Manager Gary
Word loses his job Jan. 31.
Planning Department Director
Ed Koconis will be acting man-
ager until the Village Council
hires a new manager.
Vice Mayor Cathi Hill, who's
leading the candidate search,
said she's encouraged by the
applicant pool and that the coun-
cil is on track with its plan to
have a new manager by the end
of March.
A well-known name among
the candidates is Suasn Stanton,
formerly city manager of Largo,
on the state's west coast just
south of Clearwater.
Steven Stanton garnered
national attention last March
after a local newspaper reported
his plans to undergo a sex-
change operation.
Less than a week later, the
Largo City Commission fired
Stanton in a 5-2 vote, ending his
14-year tenure as manager.
Stanton has since become
Susan Stanton. She was afinalist
for Sarasota's city manager job
in May, but did not win the posi-
tion.
"As for the gender change, I
don't care," Mayor Dave
Boerner said of whether Stanton
would receive equal considera-
tion "I would say in the ranking,
she's in the upper category, but
not necessarily the top pick. I'm
still looking for that perfect per-
son."
One of the council's stated
goals was to seek local candi-
dates, but as of Jan. 7, only
Marathon Deputy Manager C.J.
Geotis and Scott Simmons, a
former Monroe County Tourist
Development Council board
member, had applied.


Simmons withdrew his appli-
cation Dec. 19, saying the hiring
process was unfair, but resub-
mitted his application Monday.
"I was under the impression
that-the council was looking to
run the village as a business and
that the hiring process for this
position would be on a level
playing field." Simmons wrote
in a Dec. 19 letter to Word's
assistant, Mary Swaney.
Simmons wrote that the vil-
lage sent special invitation let-
ters to individuals, "which does
not make it a true level playing
field."
The council did send invita-
tion letters to two ex-employees,

will accept

until 4 p.m.
Jan.18.


Department Director Catherine

ted an application. Village offi-
cials say invitees will not receive
preferential treatment.
"The intent of the special
invitation is to ask people that
we think may have knowledge
of the village to throw their hat
into the ring," Hill said. "All
resumes will be evaluated and
treated equally."
Even with the lack of local
candidates, Hill said she's
"encouraged" by the number of
Florida applicants.
Seven candidates have 'expe-
rience as Florida city managers,
including Hallandale Beach
Manager Mike Good.
Other candidates have man-
agement experience in small
resort towns that Hill said are
"comparable" to Islamorada,
such as Boothbay Harbor,
Maine, Pine Knoll Shores, N.C.,
and Baker City, Ore.
Islamorada will accept appli-

Workshop to examine unincorporation


Jan. 25 meeting
called for village,
Marathon residents
By KRISTEN BURNIE
kburnie@keysreporter.com

On New Year's Eve, 2007,
the village of Islamorada cele-
brated 10 years as a municipal-
ity independent from Monroe
County.
But in the first month of
2008, some residents question
whether Islamorada will keep
that status for an 11th year.
In late January, the
Islamorada Village Council is
slated to meet with state and
local officials to discuss dis-
solving the village, returning
municipal functions to Monroe
County.
-State Rep. Ron Saunders
said he requested the work-
shop, which is tentatively
scheduled for Jan. 25, in
response to requests from
Islamorada residents who have
been pushing to dissolve the
municipality. A similar effort is
taking place with some


Marathon residents who want
to dissolve that city.
"People approached me
with this," Saunders said.. "It
wasn't my idea. But when
someone comes into my office
and says, will you look into
this, I can't just ignore it
because it's an issue I don't
feel like dealing with."
Saunders said he asked the
Monroe County Commission
whether the county would be
able and willing to assume the
financial obligations of
Islamorada and Marathon if the
municipalities are dissolved.
If the commission says no,
Saunders says, he'll drop the
issue.
But if it says yes, he'll
decide whether to file legisla-
tion to put the issue to a vote in
Islamorada and Marathon.
He said it's unlikely that
Monroe County citizens living
outside those two municipali-
ties would get a vote.
"As a taxpayer in Monroe
County, I would assume those
obligations [from Marathon
and Islamorada]. That's why I


wanted the County
Commission to represent all of
Monroe County," he said.
Saunders said proponents of
unincorporation claim to have
garnered 400 to 500 signatures
from residents in favor of dis-
solving the village, which
they'll soon turn into Saunders
for verification.
Islamorada resident Robert
Page, who's been pushing for
unincorporation for about four
years, said he mailed the peti-
tions to every Islamorada
household on the registered
voters list, and that "hundreds
and hundreds" of petitions
have been signed and mailed
back to him.
Page said the village has
never completed a project on
time and on budget, and that
"elected officials interject
themselves into the operation
of the village and continually
give instructions to the staff.
The village attorney has
repeatedly warned elected offi-
cials that their job is to set pol-
icy and not to interfere in the
management of the village."
He also accused Islamorada
of "poor fiscal management"

and referenced a slew of loans,
a lack of financial accountabil-
ity and an overrun of more than
$1 million for the wastewater
system on Plantation Key.
But some Islamorada offi-
cials say Page's movement
lacks muscle.
"I would say if it went to
referendum it would be over-
whelmingly defeated," Mayor
Dave Boerner said. "There is a
certain group in town that has
always complained about the
village and would like to unin-
corporate, but at the same time
if you take the level of taxes
paid north of Tavernier Creek
and south of Tavernier Creek,
our taxes are actually margin-
ally lower, and we provide a
higher level of services."
"We've had our growing
pains, but we're doing very
well," Boerner said. "Even
though last year we met the
state budget crunch, we didn't
take a single dime out of
reserves. The county took $10
million out of their reserves.


We're tight, there's no fat in
the budget anywhere, but
we're functioning financially
very well now."
"If the county is not willing
to accept the responsibility of
taking on the village and meet-
ing our level of services, it's a
moot point," Boerner added.
County Commissioner
Sylvia Murphy said the com-
mission is far from making a
decision.
"I wouldn't have a clue,"
Murphy said when asked
where the commission stands.
"We have not discussed it, we
have no information other than
the announcement that was
made at the last BOCC meet-
ing. I honestly can't even tell
you how I feel about it,
because we have no informa-
tion to go on."
Murphy said the county
attorney and budget manager
would need to research the
issue before the commission
can make a decision.

Council snuffs out fire tax


Majority says
find the money
in the budget
By KRISTEN BURNIE
kburnmie@keysreporter.com

Islamorada won't charge res-
idents an extra fee for emer-
gency services this year, but
expected state budget cuts of
about $2 billion have village
officials worried about already
pinched police and fire budgets.
Thursday, the Islamorada
Village Council closed the door
on an assessment beyond what
residents pay in property taxes
for fire and emergency services,
voting 3-2 against allowing Fire
Chief William Wagner to adver-

Wagner had requested

which would have to be held

He implored council mem-

told the council to expect the
2008-09 state budget to be
about $2 billion less than the
current one, which was cut by
$1.1 billion last October.
"We do have a very, very
tight [village] budget right now.
That's across the board. We
have no reserves," Wagner said.
Wagner said an assessment
would leave more property tax
money for other services
including police, for which the
village pays the Monroe County
Sheriff's Office.
Before a fire fee could be
implemented, Wagner said the
village would have to pay for a


study to decide how much to
charge residential and commer-
cial property owners.
Residents spoke at the coun-
cil meeting on both sides of the
issue.
"This was the most horrific
year in my 20-year history in
the Keys in terms of crime and
fire," Plantation Key Resident
Barry Ray said. "This is a
chance to invite the public in on
something that is absolutely
critical."
"Unfortunately, the way the
budget year is going, we're
going into cost-recovery
mode," said Councilman Chris
Sante, who voted in support of
Wagner's request.
Councilman Don Achenberg,
who also wanted to keep the
assessment option open, asked
the council, "Why, when you
have the opportunity to put
something in the hands of the


people, do you take it away?"
But Mayor Dave Boerner,
who voted in December for
Wagner to seek legal permis-
sion for implementing a fire
assessment, said he stopped
supporting the assessment
because a study would cost the
village money.
Vice Mayor Cathi Hill and
Councilman Mike Reckwerdt
agreed.
"The whole point of the
assessment is to go around ad
valorem [property taxes], and I
don't buy into it," Reckwerdt
said, "If we get through the
budget and we can't find the
money, then the ad valorem [tax
rate] goes up."
Boerner said that if neces-
sary, the council could raise the
property tax rate with a four-
fifths majority vote later in the
budget process.

Saunders brings bad news


By KRISTEN BURNIE
kburnie@keysreporter.com

Despite a poor outlook for
state funding, the Islamorada
Village Council approved more
money for wastewater consult-
ants and will look into hiring its
own engineer.
At its meeting Thursday, state
Rep. Ron Saunders told the coun-
cil that his plan to fund Keys
wastewater systems through state
bonding will likely fail because
of $2, billion in anticipated state
budget cuts.
Saunders said he's working on
other funding options, including
federal funding and bonding
through programs such as Florida
Forever and Save Our
Everglades.
He asked the council to con-
tinue moving forward, and said
the state won't overlook the 2010
advanced wastewater compliance
deadline because of a "bad budg-
et year."
Soon after Saunders spoke,
the council voted 4-1 to pay an
additional $57,000 to consulting
firm E-Sciences for design
reviews and construction engi-
neering inspections of the


Plantation Key wastewater treat-
ment system.
Utilities Director Myles
Milander said E-Sciences is per-
forming administrative applica-
tions necessary for a "final close-
out" on Phase 1 of the system,
and to work toward a closeout of
Phase 2.
Councilman Mike Reckwerdt
cast the opposing vote.
"I think if we look back at
what we've spent [with E-
Sciences], it's going to horrify
us," Reckwerdt said. "As long as
we keep awarding contracts and
signing these checks with our
vote, we're going to keep pump-
ing money into soft costs, and we
are going to continue to have, in
my opinion, dismal failures."
Mayor Dave Boemer said he
also wants change, but that E-
Sciences "provides a service we
can't provide ourselves."
The council unanimously
approved $30,000 for E-Sciences
to continue researching a decen-
tralized sewer system for Lower
Matecumbe Key, and voted to
form a nine-person steering com-
mittee to oversee the project.


At a special wastewater meet-
ing on Jan. 17, the council will
discuss hiring an engineer to'
reduce consulting costs.
In other business, the council:
+ Heard an update from Vice
Mayor Cathi Hill on the search
for a new village manager. Hill
said 33 candidates have applied
for the job, which Gary Word will
leave on Jan. 31. The council will
meet the week of Jan. 28 to deter-
mine a list of finalists.

affordable housing units at
Woods Comer to pay the almost
$6,000 wastewater connection
fee over 20 years.
Deferred a decision on

FIRM to keep up the fight into 2008


Policy changes
set to expire
at end of year
By DAVID GOODHUE
dgoodhue@keysreporter.com

One of the few positive
byproducts of the 2004-05 hur-
ricane seasons was a grassroots
group of citizens who managed
to effect real wind-insurance
policy change where others in
government and industry failed.
The group Fair Insurance
Rates in Monroe, or FIRM, was
largely instrumental in getting
state legislation drafted and


It's latest idea
for access to
isolated island
Keynoter Staff

The cost to haul lobster traps
or other bulky items to Boot
Key could be $5,500 per day,
the Marathon City Council
learned at its Tuesday meeting.
The council heard an update
on businesses that require trans-
port to Boot Key now that the
bridge to the island is closed,
needing expensive repairs.
The $5,500 covers the cost
for a barge with a crane that
could haul bulk goods to the
island. Last month, the council
heard that a ferry service to
transport workers to the island
does not have enough passen-
gers to continue.
City Manager Mike Puto
advised the council that
appraisals on the value of Boot
Key with and without bridge
access are due back in early
February.
Councilwoman Marilyn
Tempest asked for a list of
needs before authorizing any
barge service at city expense.
In other action, the council
named Vice Mayor Chris Bull
the liaison with the Monroe
County School District to dis-
cuss options for Marathon
Manor, a former nursing home


passed last year that reduced
windstorm rates in the Keys by
up to 30 percent. FIRM's influ-
ence also prodded the state's
Office of Insurance Regulation
to reject a 25-percent rate
increase requested by the
state's -insurer of last resort,
Citizens Property Insurance
Corp.
Not bad for a group of Keys
business and homeowners reel-
ing from shock upon opening
their 2006 Citizens bills.
But some of the key reforms
included in last year's legisla-
tion will expire Dec. 31 so
FIRM is putting pressure on


adjacent to Marathon High
School that was acquired by the
School Board two years ago.
Among options being dis-
cussed are rehabbing the
47,000-square-foot building for
use as a possible future city
hall, commercial offices or
affordable apartments.
Bull was asked to bring back
more specifics along with costs
to see if the city has interest in
pursuing further negotiations
with the school district.
Also Tuesday, city officials
heard from, state Rep. Ron
Saunders' office on a petition to
dissolve the city.
Holly Merrill, Saunders' leg-
islative assistant, explained the
state statutes that govern abol-
ishing a municipality and said
Saunders is merely following
procedure.
She added that Saunders
"didn't mean to step on any
toes" by raising the question
last month with the County
Commission, but that step is
one of many outlined in state
statutes.
A suggestion by resident
Fred Endemann to add the
question to the November bal-
lot met with little support.
Vice Mayor Chris Bull said
petition sponsor Sally Buehler
has refused numerous invita-
tions to a public meeting.


Tallahassee to make them per-
manent
One of the key provisions
FIRM wants to make perma-
nent is the change in the so-
called "use and file" practice,
where an insurance company
increases rates before receiving
approval from the state.
"We want them to ask per-
mission before they ask for for-
giveness," FIRM board mem-
ber Heather Carruthers said.
The legislation passed last
year prohibits companies from
increasing rates more than 10
percent within a 12-month peri-
od without receiving state
approval.
FIRM is also pushing the
state to use sales-tax revenue
collected from purchases of
products for rebuilding and
repairing storm-damaged
homes toward Florida's cata-
strophic fund, which secures re-
insurance insurance for
insurance companies for the
private sector and Citizens.
Caruthers said the state
received more than $4 billion in
sales-tax revenue from rebuild-
ing and repair purchases result-


ing from the '04 and '05 storm
seasons.
The state should also contin-
ue to provide matching funds
for fortifying homes against
storm damage, Carruthers said.
Although most Keys resi-
dents are insured by Citizens,
some honfeowners were
switched to so-called takeout
companies, including Florida
Peninsula, which hiked rates to
sometimes twice what Citizens
was charging.
Last year's law gives con-
sumers the right to go back to
Citizens if a takeout company
charges rates 15 percent higher
than Citizens.
FIRM is also pressuring
state lawmakers to permanently
do away with the so-called
Panhandle exemption, where
homes on the state's Panhandle
weren't subject to the same
building standards as homes in
the rest of the state. -
Carruthers said a big reason
people waited so long for their
claims to be processed after the
'04 and '05 seasons was the
lack of staff claims adjusters.
Citizens had a staff of two


claims adjusters after the 2004
storm season to deal with
23,000 claims, she said. In the
2005 season, the company had
eight adjusters to deal with
30,000 claims.
The company's solution was
to hire outside adjusters, but
many who were hired didn't
understand South Florida,
Carruthers said.
"An adjuster from Billings,
Mont., may know what to do
about snow on your roof, but
not if the wind blew your roof
off," Carruthers said.
Through the work of a state
task force, of which Carruthers
is a member, Citizens is expect-
ed to have 75 staff adjusters by
the end of 2008, she said.
Much of FIRM's success
had to do with its members get-
ting the word out and getting
people involved, mostly with
actions like calling and writing
to lawmakers. The next legisla-
tive session begins in March,
and Carruthers said to expect
similar requests from FIRM.
"We want people to know
that the fight is not over,"
she said.

College names new provost


It also hires
new VP for
business affairs
By KYLE TEAL
kteal@keynoter.com

In a move described as
broadening the influence and
improving efficiency of Florida
Keys Community College,
Charles Shaffer was named
full-time provost.
In a related move, John
Kehoe was hired as the new
vice president of business
affairs last week.
Shaffer, a FKCC professor
of biology for 12 years and a
professor at numerous colleges
for 46 years, is ready to "create
bridges" between faculty and
President Jill Landesberg-
Boyle as the college's chief
academic officer.
Shaffer earned his doctoral
degree from the University of
Pennsylvania and has been an
FKCC biology, professor for 10
years.
The Board of Trustees creat-
ed the provost position at its


Aug. 27 meeting. Big Pine Key
resident and faculty emeritus
Cliff Colman was named to the
position for an interim period
until Landesberg-Boyle and a
search committee sorted
through a stack of resumes.
Landesberg-Boyle said hir-


The Board

ing Shaffer, who lives in
Islamorada, would bolster the
college's presence across the
Keys. The college has campus-
es on Stock Island and class-


rooms at Marathon High
School and Coral Shores High
in Tavernier.
"He brings a wealth of expe-
riences, not just as an academ-
ic but as a residents of the
Keys," she said. "Having lived
in the Upper Keys for the past
several years, his view of the
Florida Keys has wonderful
breadth ... and will help us to
maintain a focus, not only on
serving our Key West con-
stituents, but our constituents
throughout the Keys."
The position also allows hler
to focus more on meeting with
students and constituents, she
said, while the provost, the
equivalent of a college's aca-
demic chief, focuses on the
"day-to-day business opera-
tions" of the college.
Kehoe was formerly
employed in Louisiana's
University System,
"I want to ensure that we are
running a very efficient opera-
tion and. we are spending tax
payers money the best way
possible," he said. "And that
our processes and procedures
are up to date."

Sewer-rate

hearing delayed


By ALYSON CREAN
acrean@keynoter.com


A Keys hearing to decide
whether Stock Islanders will see
their sewer bills increase has
been delayed after the owner of
KW Resort Utilities requested an
emergency continuance.
Attorneys for the utility's
owner, Bill Smith, say the plant
might sell soon.
The utility is looking for the
increase to help pay for upgrades
and cover operational costs until
all of the 1,500 households that
should be using the private sewer
system get hooked up.
In September, the state Public
Service Commission approved a
temporary increase of an average
$8 monthly.
According to KW Resort
Utility's filing, the average resi-
dential bill is $40. If the overall
57 percent rate hike it seeks were
approved, it would drive cus-
tomer's monthly bills to more
than $60 a month.
The hearing was planned for
February.
"Currently, certain discussions
are occurring between the utility
and a public entity regarding the
possibility of sale of the utility,"
according to a KW Resort
Utilities motion filed Jan. 7. "The
sale of the utility would render


this rate case moot...."
Over the past several years,
the Florida Keys Aqueduct
Authority, the public sewer
authority, has entertained notions
of acquiring the utility. Executive
Director Jim Reynolds says the
price has always been too high.
Thursday, FKAA Deputy
Executive Director Kerry Shelby
said there were were no official negoti-
ations underway with KW Resort
Utilities.
"We're certainly not actively
negotiating with them," Shelby
said. "But we've been open to the
acquisition for years. We haven't
sat down in a face to face to kick
around ideas, but we are interest-
ed to see if they have any inter-
est."
Shelby said FKAA ownership
would provide an economy of
scale that could drive down rates
for everyone, especially if the
county were able to use the plant
for Big Coppitt, Rockland,
Geiger and Shark keys.
Utility spokesman Bill Barry
said only, "The utility cannot
comment about ongoing negotia-
tions."
Some skeptical Stock Island
residents suspect the motion is
merely a means to delay the hear-
ing.

Lawsuit: Video leads to harassment


Plaintiff: Cops
are annoyed
and target him
By KYLE TEAL
kteal@keynoter.com

A former bicycle rider, avid
video tape recorder and self-pro-
claimed carpenter and "pig fish-
erman" is suing the city of Key
West for what he calls harass-
ment from the Key West Police
Department.
Scott Harrington, known as
"Cameraman" to the youth in
Bahama Village, moved to that
community six years ago from


New Town. It's a fitting nick-
name: He says he carried around
a video camera while pedaling
the area for eight to 10 hours a
day for three years until 2006.
Harrington said he stopped
filming after a resident threat-
ened him.
What was he filming? Almost
every move Bahama Village
police officers made.
But Harrington's unusually
strong desire for transparency in
monitoring local law enforce-
ment coupled with his hostile
attitude toward police has land-
ed him 15 traffic tickets -
almost all on his bicycle in


the Keys since 1994, according
to Monroe County Court docu-
ments.
Harrington's laundry list of
arrests reveals offenses as petty
as running a stop sign on his
bicycle, and some as serious as
assault on an officer.
The latter charge, according
to Harrington, was from kissing
officer Eric Defillipo on the
cheek after he put his arm
around Harrington for a "trophy
photo." The charge was
dropped.
Records show that in Monroe
County, he's had 11 arrests for
non-traffic violations, many of
which were tossed or dropped
by the State Attorney's Office.


"They are very aggressive in
Bahama Village," Harrington
said, "and with issues they real-
ly don't care about anywhere
else. If I throw a cigarette butt
on the ground, they get me for
littering."
All of this led to his Jan. 8 fil-
ing of the lawsuit in Monroe
County Circuit Court against
Police Chief Bill Mauldin and
officers DeFilippo, Kelly
Thomas, Blair Lowe and Carter
Sims.
Harrington is asking for dam-
ages in excess of $15,000.
Police spokeswoman Christie
Phillips said the department's
policy is to not comment on
pending litigation.
Lowe resigned in 2004 after
the arrest of an ornery 16-year
girl in Bahama Village.
A police report of the inci-
dent says Harrington, while
observing that arrest, started
yelling to attract a large crowd
while filming the incident. He
repeatedly called the officers
"pigs" and swung his Sony cam-
era at one officer, the report
says.
A background check from the
Monroe County Sheriff's Office


Web site shows Harrington told
officers he was a "pig fisher-
man" when arrested a not-so-
subtle indication of his feelings
toward the department.
Harrington, 45, also created
bumper stickers that state:
"Black and blue: Another victim
of the Key West Police
Department."
He said it became difficult
for him to find carpentry work
during and after the tapings,
claiming the Code Enforcement
Department told clients not to
do business with him.
City and state records indi-
cate that Harrington does not
have a contracting license but is
qualified as a "quality control
consultant," one who gives
readings on mold and other
details in buildings.
Attorney Jiulio Margalli rep-
resents Harrington in his law-
suit, which states Harrington has
"suffered severe mental anguish
and loss income in connection
with the deprivation of his liber-
ty and constitutional and statu-
tory rights...."
Harrington's complaint is the
third suit filed against city
police the past five weeks.

Jones retiring after 11 years in job


Key West official
cites health woes
for the decision
By KYLE TEAL
ekteal@keynoter.com


Key West Assistant City
Manager John Jones is retiring
May 1.
He sent City Manager Jim
Scholl a letter Monday citing
physical maladies throughout his
tenure such as four-way heart
bypass surgery, two knee replace-
ments and diabetes.
Jones, 76, has worked for the
city since 1993. He's been assis-
tant city manager for 11 years.
"Even though these physical
problems have so far in my opin-
ion not affected my ability to per-
form my job satisfactory and
recent physicals confirm I am
presently OK, the odds. are not
favorable what I will remain so,"
he wrote to Scholl.
Jones wrote that he would be
available to work with the city
under contract in "any other
capacity you need for as long as
my health allows me."
Scholl responded: "I do
believe your corporate knowl-
edge and your longstanding rela-
tionship with this city can contin-
ue to serve us in a positive man-
ner."
Jones had retired once before,
in 1993. That didn't last long.
"I needed something to do,"
he said.
"I had a good second career,"
he said, referring to his work on
the Riviera Canal, the waste-to-
energy incinerator and his efforts
in starting the homeless shelter.
"And I'll be in Key West for the
duration."
Jones' started his journey
attending the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, now known
as Auburn University, and joined
the U.S. Navy in 1953, where he
was stationed in Key West. There
he met his wife, Ruth, a Conch.
After serving, he started out as
an electrical engineer at
Westinghouse Electric Corp.
Later he became the manager
of a repair facility for 17 years.
He had a "mid-life crisis" at age
43 and started his own business,
"living-high on the hog."
In 1977, he started as a plant
manager at McGraw Edison Co.
.. ... At ger;',i igji .
-. Atlanta; when.-he-.and, his. .wife.


went on vacation to Key West.
The city's Engineering
Department had an opening and
Jones said he was interested.
After, working as a project
manager, he was named engi-
neering director and then assis-
tant city manager in 1997. He
makes $120,681 a year.
Jones has developed the repu-


tation of a devoted city official -
who sometimes gets in trouble
for cutting through red tape.
He was arrested April 20 for
signing certificates of occupancy
he wasn't authorized to, one for'
trailers the state Department of
Children and Family Services
could use as workspac.e after
Hurricane Wilma damaged their
offices.
"It's hard to get things done in


a bureaucracy," Jones said. "The
consequence is. you get your hand
slapped sometime. I don't mind
getting in trouble, but I don't
want to get other people in trou-
ble."
In the fall, Scholl promoted
Annalise Mannix from city
stormwater utility manager to
deputy assistant city manager,
basically the No. 3 position in the
city, behind Scholl and Jones.

McCoy: Give DEP power


Keys obituary


FKAA official
says it wouldn't
affect sewer work
By ALYSON CREAN
acrean@keynoter.com

The Monroe County Com-
mission hopes to encourage the
state to play a bigger .role in
sewer installation in the Keys.
A resolution on this week's
commission agenda is the first
step.
The commission meets
Wednesday starting at 9 a.m. at
the Harvey Government Center
in Key West. At 1:30 p.m., it
will consider a resolution tag-
ging the state Department of
Environmental Protection with
oversight of Keys sewer con-
struction.
Kerry Shelby, deputy execu-
tive director of the Florida Keys
Aqueduct Authority, says the
move wouldn't change his
agency's role in overseeing
planning, construction and
management of sewer systems
throughout most of unincorpo-
rated Monroe County.
"This is really more of a con-
cept right now, to keep the state
engaged," he said. "The
Aqueduct is just a partner with
the county. This would make
DEP the glue that keeps us all


together."
The resolution, brought forth
by Mayor Sonny McCoy, "The
county requests that the state
commit the resources of the
DEP to serve as the entity to
manage the funding, the design
and the implementation to
advance the provision of waste-
water treatment facilities for the
Florida Keys."
"This would bring them to
the table," Shelby said, "to
make DEP a clearinghouse for
how the projects are progress-
ing."
According to the resolution,
responsibility and authority for
sewer work in the Keys has
been fragmented among a num-
ber of agencies. McCoy has
long argued that the way the
process works now, with sever-
al local sewer authorities, is not
efficient.
The resolution says, "It is in
everyone's benefit to have one
comprehensively engineered
program for the sewering" of
the Keys.
Also on tap for Wednesday:
A public hearing to allow
seasonal residential units within
parcels zoned for recreational
vehicles. This would allow
redevelopment of more perma-
nent seasonal homes in areas
formerly restricted to RVs.


Approval to obtain an
appraisal on the county-owned
Plantation Key Public Works
building. It's used for storage
and its sale could generate rev-
enue.
+ An agreement paying
$136,000 to the Monroe County
School District to upgrade
Poinciana Elementary School in
Key West to serve as a shelter of
last resort in case of a hurricane.
An update on the status of
the sale of the Hickory House.
The county bought the Stock
Island restaurant more than a
year ago as a way to maintain
public waterfront access but has
decided to sell. In June, the
owners of King's Pointe
Marina, next door to the proper-
ty, offered $3.1 million for the
parcel but the sale has not yet
gone through.
A moratorium on issuing
building permits on Big Pine
and No Name keys. The freeze,
which the Planning Com-
mission recommends against
imposing, would last until mid-
July if approved.
+ Two moratoria involving
hotel and motel rooms. One
would extend an existing freeze
on creation of any new rooms.
A second would freeze a devel-
oper's ability to transfer RV
units to a different site to use as
a hotel or motel room.

Key Wester Edith
Amsterdam's mansion doesn't
feature plasma flat-screen televi-
sions or an extensive collection
of Maseratis in the driveway like
so many Hollywood celebrities
boast on TV and in magazines.
So what makes the Curry
Mansion Inn so attractive to visi-
tors and locals, and so widely
popular, that it ranks No. 64 on
Conde Nast Travelers' 2006
guide of the top 100 hotels in the
country?
Good old-fashioned class with
heaps of Victorian charm.
Mind you, Amsterdam is not a
22-year-old hip-hop artist laced
with bling-brlirg;,' tdidntifihg' MV


cameras. She wasn't thrilled
about seeing her age in print, so
let's just say she's wise enough to
have watched Franklin Delano
Roosevelt give an inaugural
speech or two.
But take away the white,
closely cropped hair, and it's pos-
sible cashiers would check her
driver's license before selling her
a bottle of wine because of her
youthful energy.
"I go to a lot of parties," she
said, laughing. "I go to more par-
ties than anybody."
Conde Nast calls her the
"grande dame" of Key West. Old
pictures and portraits of
Amsterdam reveal a striking
brunette who would rival any of
today's cover girls,.
" <7~erifeatitn'g "i-fer'- e," l' stlr


exudes that beauty under her
light blue hat are even lighter
blue eyes. She treats entering
guests from all over the world as
a warm hostess or an old friend.
Keeping up the mansion takes
up most of her time, though she
still manages to volunteer for
nonprofits such as the Red Cross,
Wesley House Family Services
and Habitat for Humanity. She
hangs out at the Key West Yacht
Club, where she's a member.
But the mansion has been her
-livelihood since 1975, when she
purchased it for $120,000 with
her then-husband Al, for residen-
tial use. He's since'died.

MANSION / From 25

St. began in 1855. It was then
owned by Key West's first mil-
lionaire, William Curry.
The Amsterdams came from
New Jersey in the 1960s, where
Edith had an apple orchard and
Al owned a medical equipment
business.
When a Realtor showed.the
mansion, the outside was much
nicer than the inside "but I knew
what it could look like," she said.
"There was nothing in the
house but the 1853 Chickering
piano and a. buffet in the dining
room," she said.
Thirty years ago, she was
dealing with similar tax woes we
see today.
"My taxes were $800 when I
started and five years later, it was
$22,000" annually, -in 1980, she
said.
The Amsterdams renovated,
painted and were able to convert
the home into a guesthouse that
now attracts visitors from all over
the world, with the help of local
attomrneyJMichael Halpem, who
helped battle community resist-
ance to the change.

Register today for UM fair


It's at three
Keys locations'
in two weeks
University of Miami Medical
School students and staff return
to the Keys Jan. 26 for their
annual Florida Keys Health Fair.
It's planned for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
at Fishermen's Hospital in
Marathon; the Methodist and
Baptist churches at 280 Key Deer
Blvd., Big Pine Key; and Key
West High School, 2100 Flagler
Ave.
You can avoid lines at the
popular fair by preregistering
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at the
fair's locations, except for on Big
Pine, where preregistration is at
the senior center, 380 Key Deer
Blvd., behind the fire station.
The Florida Keys Health Fair
was established in 1971 by Iris
Keim, a Big Pine resident and
retired professor of family medi-
cine and epidemiology and pub-
lic health, who recognized the
necessity of addressing the med-
ical and educational needs of the
underserved population of
Monroe County.
Over the years, the annual
event has come to provide many
health services at free or reduced
cost to Keys residents unable to
access routine medical care.
The fair provides screening


for the most prevalent diseases in
our community including hyper-
tension, diabetes, high choles-
terol, vision loss, obesity, depres-
sion, hepatitis, osteoporosis, and
colon, breast, cervical and skin
cancers.
Using a referral system of free
clinics, the fair also acts as a por-
tal for entry to care for patients
identified to be at risk. All of the
-services offered are provided by
volunteer physicians, health-care
workers and medical students.
Since its inception, the Florida
Keys Health Fair has grown to
provide needed services in the
Middle and Lower Keys for near-


ly 1,000 patients every year.
Free health screenings and
education include smoking-ces-
sation counseling, bone-density
tests, mental-health screening,
children's health evaluations,
blood-glucose tests, HIV testing,
breast exams, and male genital
and rectal exams. There also is $5
testing for prostate cancer screen-
ing, pap smears and cholesterol
tests (for the blood-glucose and
cholesterol tests, you must not eat
for eight hours before arriving for
the tests).

Through adversity comes 'enduring love'


Decker's latest
goes on display
at SoDu Gallery
F an Decker started paint-
ing just a few years ago
and quickly became a pro.
She paints like a demon, con-
tributes artwork generously to
community fundraisers and
shows at several Keys galleries.
On Wednesday, a reception
from 6 to 9 p.m. opens a show of
her new
a works from
the past
year at the
1100 SoDu

1100 Duval
St., Key.
West.
Her
work has
changed
consider-
Judi Bradford ably in
recent
months, reflecting what she calls
a "dark depth," but also a feeling
of sturdy grounding. The artist is
known for an unflinching fear-
lessness with bright, tropical col-
ors.
A tough year in which
Decker's husband, Bob, battled
cancer at first with a grim prog-
nosis, but ultimately triumphant,
shows up in the colorations and
subjects that came off the end of
Fran's brush.
Symbolisms emerged that
pictured the unknown way
ahead; hope sprouted in flowers,
fruits and eggs, and the bright
sunny scenes returned at the end


of the year and the end of the
turmoil.
"Peppers," an autumn paint-
ing, has a hopeful humor and
won a prize at the Key West Art
Center's juried show.
"'Pomegranates,' the final
painting of the year, is all about
enduring love," Becker says. "At
the October checkup, Bob was
cancer free."
Decker is one of six partners
in the SoDu Gallery, with Janis
Childs, Maritza Cresce, Lainie
Davia, Leslie Kanter and this
writer.
More of her work can be seen
at www.frandecker.com.


This is
'Florida
Sunrise'

Decker.
Her latest
exhibit
opens this
coming
week at
the SoDu
Gallery,
1100 Duval
St., Key
West.

Faces and stories
New York photographer Curt
Richter shows more than 50
portraits of southern writers at
The Studios of Key West this
Monday through Feb. 15. The
exhibit opens with a reception 6
to 9 p.m. Thursday at the
Studios, 600 White St.
Richter uses a platinum print-
ing process in the darkroom


instead of the more common sil-
ver print. Each image, individual-
ly developed the old-fashioned
way, has a unique lustrous quality.
The Collector's Guide
(www.collectorsguide.com)
calls the platinum process,
patented in 1873, the "sine qua
non of photographic art."
Alfred Stieglitz, Edward
Weston, Edward S. Curtis and
other well-known black-and-
white photography pioneers used
the process. i
Richter's work can be found
in the New York Museum of

'Smell of the Kill'.
smells pretty funny
"The Smell of the Kill," a
comedy by Michele Lowe," is
now well into its run at the
Marathon Community Theatre.
The local cast includes Kim
Capps as Debra, the doormat
wife; Rebecca Dailey as Nikki,
the "I have everything a
woman could want and less"
wife; and Lisa Tabor as Molly,
the dingy, dizzy, drinking and
diverted wife.
The story: Debra's husband


Marty, played by Tom O'Neil,
has from day one been a wom-
anizing cheater, among other
things. Molly's husband
Danny, played by Paul
Buckley, borders on stalking
his own wife, following her
around watching under the
guise of being in love, in a sick
sort of way. Nicky's husband is
Jay, played by Bob Rowand.
Jay has just been indicted for
embezzling and that's the
most exciting thing he's done
in a while. Can you say boring
husband?
The scheme these women


come up with during their
monthly dinner party ,put the

The show runs Thursdays,
Fridays and Saturdays through
Feb. 2 with performances at 8
p.m. A Sunday matinee is

grueling match
By DICK WAGNER
Keynoter Contributor


At 3 Thursday afternoon,
what seemed like the entire
population of Key West High
School.poured into the Bobby
Menendez Gym for a
wrestling meet between the
Conchs and Coral Shores.
The bleachers on both sides
were nearly packed, creating a
rare atmosphere for basket-
ball games, the stands are
pulled out on only one side
because of small crowds.
The thousand or so students
- who had each bought a $2
ticket to see the meet rather
than stay in their seventh-peri-
od class yelled and
shrieked as they looked down
at the red-and-gray mat that
covered the center of the floor.
Their enthusiasm infused
the Conch wrestlers, who
defeated the Hurricanes, 54-
25.

Offensive pressure in the

for the Coral Shores Lady

they needed to beat local rival
Key West High School.
The goal midway through

delivered kick from the corner
under the lights at the
Hurricane field. Freshman
Cerene Arsenault went up for
a header that was on track for
the Conch goal. The ball hit
the crossbar and bounced into
the tumult in front of the net
where a ricochet sent into the
net.

Conchs win final three


WRESTLE / From 41

Soares was the favorite, but
the spinning Labrador gave
him all he could handle as the
two became entwined like
pretzels. Suddenly, Soares lift-
ed Labrador and slammed him
to the mat.
After two periods, Soares
led, 8-4. Before the third peri-
od began, most of the students
filed out. The 4 o'clock bell
had sounded, the school day
was over, and more important
things apparently loomed.
With maybe a hundred
young fans left, Soares fended
off a pin attempt and defeated
Labrador, 20-8. Labrador
stretched out on the wooden
floor to contemplate the
defeat. Later, in the sunshine
of the gym lobby, he said,
"He's a lot stronger and in bet-
ter shape than I am."
Coral Shores coach Mark
Terrill said Soares had set out
to outmuscle Labrador.
"Once he quit doing that


and began using the tech-
niques we've taught him, he
settled down." Terrill said.
Key West won the final
three matches.
Sophomore Dylan Barber
(130 pounds) pinned Dylan
Venninni, junior Oscar
Fernandez (119) used a three-
quarter nelson to pin Yordan
Polanco with 16 seconds left
in the second period, and jun-
ior Greg Garcia (112) pinned
Daniel Doyle in 30 seconds.
Afterward, with all the stu-
dents gone and the mat being
cleared from the floor, Key
West coach John Moeller said,
"The big surprise was Oscar.
He took nothing but beatings
for two and a half years, but
suddenly he's come alive."
The victory was especially
satisfying for Fernandez, who
had psyched himself by danc-
ing around before the match
with an iPod in his ear.
He had lost to Polanco in
early December, but not this
time. "Three-quarter nelson,"
he said with a smile.

Lady Eagles
go to Marathon,
for the district
By KEVIN WADLOW
Senior Staff Writer
kwadlow@keynoter.comn

The postseason for girls soccer
teams from Island Christian and
Marathon High School begins
Tuesday at the same tinhe and place.
A local-rivalry game at 6 p.m.
Tuesday at the Marathon
Community Park takes on special
significance as a semifinal playoff
in District 16-2A.
The second-seed Lady
Dolphins (9-3) host No. 3 seed
Lady Eagles (8-7) for the right to
advance to the district title game,
most likely against Palmer Trinity.
Marathon and ICS usually do
not compete in the same state
sports classification but both
wound up in .2A for this soccer
season.
The Eagles tuned up for the
tournament with a 6-0 win
Thursday over Westwood Christian.
Standout forward Kate Dupre
scored five of the six ICS goals.
"That's not the first time she's
had that kind of game," ICS coach
Robert Lucas said. "She may have
had six goals once last year."
In the match's strangest statis-
tic,, goalkeeper Mary Ellen

Boating course
starts Jan. 17

The U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary in Marathon has a boat-
ing skills and seamanship course
starting Jan. 17 and continuing
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 to
9:30 p.m. through Feb. 5 at the
Coast Guard station in Marathon.
Cost is $55, which includes the
textbook and workbook (second
family member is an additional
$25). Sign-up booths will be at the
Kmart shopping center and the
Publix in Marathon from 9 a.m. to
3 p.m. today and Sunday.
For more information, call
Don Weston at 289-2007 or 743-
6656, or Skip Johnson at 745-

Petraska recorded the defensive
shutout, and an offensive assist.
"Mary Ellen punted the ball
out, all the way to Jennifer Subic
at midfield," Lucas said. "Jennifer
took it and put it in the goal."
Island Christian's defense per-
mitted only two Westwood shots
on the Eagle goal, an impressive
performance considering the unit
needed an emergency rebuild.
"We had to make a lot of
changes, picking two new starting
defenders because two girls
moved out of the Keys over the
break,"Lucas said. "It worked out
pretty well, and we were able to
use our speed to an advantage
over Westwood."
Marathon's young but capable
squad won both regular-season
meetings against ICS.
"Marathon can score but we
kept the matches close," Lucas
said. "We'll try to play a good
game, have a good time and see
what happens."

Rusty Canes can't


stop Gulliver


Early turnovers
help steamroll
Coral Shores
By KEVIN WADLOW
Senior Staff Writer
kwadlow@keynoter.com


For a time Tuesday, Coral
Shores' boys basketball
Hurricanes managed to stay
with district powerhouse
Gulliver Prep.
Two minutes into the sec-
ond quarter, the Canes pulled
within a bucket, 19-17, of the
talented Raiders (13-3).
Gulliver then forced three
straight turnovers, all convert-
ed to points, and never slowed
down.
By the end, Gulliver had
emptied the bench and still
won, 70-34.
"It's like we're back at pre-
season again," Cane coach
Andy Thiery said. "That's the
difference between a team like
Gulliver that plays and prac-
tices through Christmas break,
and a team that doesn't."
Thiery tried to practice last
week before school resumed
but never got enough players

Boating classes
set for Lower Keys

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary
Flotilla 1303 of Big Pine Key

include instruction in basic boat-
ing safety, navigation and

Classes will be at Venture

three weeks Monday and
Thursday nights starting Jan. 21.
Times are 7 to 9:30 p.m. Fee is
$55 per person, which includes

to hold a decent workout.
Gulliver, meanwhile, trav-
eled to a holiday tournament
in Puerto Rico. "We were hop-
ing they'd be fatigued. Maybe
jet-lagged," Thiery dead-
panned.
Cane senior Chris Noble
left it all on the court, as
usual, scoring 19 of the team's
34 points.
"Chris had a good game but
one guy can't win it for you,"
Thiery said. "Stephen Fowler
and Max Jones had decent
games but we never had all
five guys on the.court playing
well at the same time."
Fowler, a 6-foot-6 center,
was the second-leading Cane
scorer with five points.
At times, Gulliver put three
players on the court taller than
Fowler, and still had some left
over on the bench. And the
shorter Raiders shot lights-
out.
Anthony Whitehead scored
four points for the Canes, and
Sammy Leon hit the team's
only 3-pointer.
A Gulliver reserve hit three
3-pointers just in the fourth
quarter.
The Canes fell behind, 36-
19, by halftime and managed a
meager 15 points in the sec-
ond half.
,Coral Shores took its 4-6

Freshman Jasmine Jones
scored both goals for Key
West, setting a school fresh-
man season record with 14.
The Canes (12-3-1) got two
early goals from the wings,
sophomore Chelsea Russell
hitting from the right side
about six minutes in, and sen-
ior Brooks Burdick scoring
from the left 10 minutes later.
But the Conchs stayed
active and were rewarded with
the two Jones scores.
"Their second goal was
well-earned, a solid shot that
hit the crossbar with a nice
follow-up," Arsenault said.
"That happens."
He was less pleased with
Key West's first goal, a play
off a short direct kick.
"We got caught sleeping,
totally off guard," he said. "I
don't think that will happen
again."
Megan Guenther kept the
Hurricanes on the attack, fir-
ing several near-misses off
headers.

Arsenault said sophomore
midfielder Andrea Cockerham
played a "brilliant" game both
ways. "She played smart
defense and made several
well-timed runs out of the
back that ended up creating
scoring opportunities."
Paul was not distressed by
the outcome, since the Conchs
(11-5-1) already own the top
seed in their tournament with
a 10-0 record against District
16-4A foes.
Some regulars like center
midfielder Kara Haack are
still slowed by nagging
injuries, he said.
"Playing Coral Shores is
just as intense as ever, but it's
more of a friendly rivalry now
since we know each other so
well, and some of our girls
play together [on-travel teams]
in the off-season," he said.
As the 16-4A top seed, Key
West opens tournament play
Wednesday against a first-
round winner.
Coral Shores, second seed
in District 16-3A, plays third
seed Archbishop Carroll in
Miami on Thursday. Start time
and location had not been con-
firmed as of press time.
Results of Friday's regular-
season final against Miami
Country Day were not avail-
able.
"It looks like we're peaking
at the right time," Arsenault
said.

Cane JV wins
The Lady Hurricane junior
varsity topped their Key West
counterparts, 6-0, Wednesday.
Amber Spaulding led the
Cane JV offense, with support
from Careni Lopez, Maddie
Ingegno and Aracelli Ornelas.
Val Ostenson got the shutout
in goal, with help by defend-
ers Michaela Walters and
Gaby Munoz.
"After coming off of a long
holiday break for most of the
players, I really enjoyed
watching them work so hard
together," JV coach Andy Van
Sickle said.
The Cane JV (7-3) finished
its season Friday against
Marathon's varsity.

'We ran out of gas'


Conchs' 2nd half
allows Mater
a 67-32 romp
By DICK WAGNER
Keynoter Contributor

Scoring its lowest number of
points of the season, the Key
West High School boys basket-
ball team was defeated, 67-32,
by Mater Academy in a District
16-4A game Tuesday in Miami.
Key West, which lost the first
meeting between the teams, 76-
65, was down by only six points
at halftime. But after coach Paul
Davis' usual we-can't-let-down-


in-the-third-quarter speech,, the
Conchs were outscored, 26-4, in
the third period.
They scored just 11 points in
the second half as they fell to 3-
11 overall and 1-5 in the district.
"We were trying, but we
couldn't get rebounds," said
Davis. "We were tired and final-
ly kind of ran out of gas."
Mired in a scoring slump, the
Conchs got only two points from
forward Vladimyr Sibera and
none from point guard Keith
Valdez both were hampered
by injuries..
Michael Gallagher, who had a
cold-shooting game, led Key


West with nine. points, and
David Ruiz added eight.
The Conchs still have not
won a district road game in
Davis' three seasons as coach. -_
He said one of the reasons is
that the Miami-area teams can
lure better talent.
"Down here, we don't have
much to choose from," he said.
"We just don't have the depth -
a good three or four players, and
you need more than that. But
we're not giving up."
Key West, which played late
Friday against Monsignor Pace,
will play Ronald Reagan at 7
tonight at the Bobby Menendez
Gym.
